Morning Song to Sally

As the morning light stretched in across my bed I thought of you, hm-hm-hmm Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said I love you, too, hm-hm-hmm And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times The way they race my heart, I cannot say it all in lines Our short time together lasts so long Makes me strong, hm-hm-hmm As two weeks came and went, then you and I were gone Living on, hm-hm-hmm For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets But the love we had so brief, I'd chance again without regrets We kissed goodbye so smooth it turned me 'round 'Round and 'round, hm-hm-hmm But our cool sometimes returns to put me on And slightly down, hm-hm-hmm For we each have things to do before our time alone is done But these thoughts of you here down the line prove the love has just begun Yes, standing by the road has been my song before Much too long, hm-hm-hmm But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more And that's this song, hm-hm-hmm For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of dreams Without you here beside me, I'll never know all that they mean So as the morning light stretched in across my bed I thought of you, hm-hm-hmm Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said I love you, too, hm-hm-hmm And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times The way they race my heart, I cannot say it all in lines
